Parish Council News The Dixon & Hogg planning appeal against the refusal of West Lindsey District council to allow development of Scothern Road was concluded on 21st July, with evidence given by the Parish Council and an inspection of the site and village by the Inspector. He will now make his report, with recommendations, to the Minister for his ultimate decision. At present decisions are taking about 12-15 months from the date of the enquiry!

The Vicars Wood project is now well in hand and it is hoped that the area will be better utilised in future. It is a significant asset to the village and a restful place to 'stay for a while'. The seats have been made by the County Enterprise Agency out of timber from the wood.

A walk through the Police Headquarters will soon lead to the new seat provided by the Parish Council for your use. The site is now acquiring a character and the tree planting designed jointly by the County Council and your Parish Council is now maturing.

The Council have always been keen on the enhancement of our environmment and to that end have planted 1000's of trees over the last 10 years. It is proposed to continue this policy.

The Fieldpath Committee have encouraged, guided and supported the County Enterprise Agency in the recent work in waymarking, clearing and generally upgrading of fieldpaths and bridleways. It is hoped to publish an illustrated 'Nettleham Fieldpaths Guide' early in the new year. To reflect the wish to make further progress it is proposed to enlarge the Fieldpaths Committee's brief and make it an Environment Committee.

Anyone is welcome to become a member of this Committee, why not come to the next meeting in January 1987.

Finally we support the moves being taken to establish Neighbourhood Watch schemes in Nettleham (see the separate article in this issue) also the Parish Council reaffirmed at its August and September meetings to support any prosecution for dogs fouling footways. A successful prosecution can only be brought if the complainant is prepared to give evidence in Court.

The Church Clocl< Work on the Church Clock has now been completed and the final account has been paid. It is a great improvement visually but the best part is the con­version to electricity instead of the weekly winding. Many thanks are due to Mr. Geoff Parker for his work over the years in keeping the clock wound up.

A new clock face for Church Street has been privately given but this has added appreciably to the village amenity and again thanks are due to the anonymous donor.

The Clock Committee recently had their final meeting and agreed to donate the outstanding balance of £188.38 to Church Funds for future repair work on the clock and to help with the payment of the electricity account for the running of the clock.

Neighbourhood Watch Information What is Neighbourhood Watch?

Neighbourhood Watch is a group of concerned neighbours who combine together with the aim of reducing crime in their immediate areas. Participants select their own representative to act as a Co-ordinator between the police and the community.

It should be emphasized that Neighbourhood Watch is NOT a VIGILANTE Group.

There are four main aims of Neighbourhood Watch:-

( a ) To reduce local opportunities for crime by deterring would be thieves and vandals.

( b ) To establish a community spirit so that everyone can contribute in the protection of their property by mutual co-operation and communication.

( c ) To inform the police or the Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators of any suspicious activity.

( d ) To make everyone more aware of local crime problems and more security conscious about their own homes.

How to Start a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme

Ideally, the approach should be made from members of the local community to the police. Already in Nettleham interest in the scheme has been shown in the Ridgeway and Deepdale Lane areas with the possible offer of persons willing to act as a co-ordinator. Neighbour­hood Watch was discussed at the September meeting of the Nettleham Parish Council and it was felt that the best way to establish what the level of interest in the scheme is and to explain how such a scheme works was to place an article in the Nettleham News. If there is sufficient interest, the next step is to arrange a preliminary meeting.

The first meeting will be between all interested persons particularly those willing to act as Co-ordinators. It was suggested that this meeting could be held at the Police Headquarters when videos and a lecture explaining the scheme could be organised.

Experience has shown that the smaller watches have proved to be the most efficient. Ideally the average size of a watch should be about 20 dwellings.

Obviously the corner stone of the Neighbourhood Watch scheme is the Co-ordinator. What are the responsibilities of a Co-ordinator? He or she would have responsibility for the following:

(1) Be spokesperson for the Watch.

(2) Liaison between the police and the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.

(3) Receiving of information for participants. Any relevant information would be then forwarded to the police, either by telephone or through the Resident Beat Officer.

(4) Organisation of Neighbourhood Watch meetings.

(5) Maintain an upto date master list of all members.

(6) Designation and delegation of certain duties such as

( a ) Recruiting of new members. ( b ) Looking after homes of members who

are on holiday. ( c ) Fund raising activities. ( d ) Maintenance of Street Plans. ( e ) Distribution of literature, stickers,

Property Marking Equipment and so on.

Street Plans

These are simply a basic planned drawing of the relevant area, with names and telephone numbers of those taking part inserte� into the plan.

Once the plan of the scheme has been prepared the Resident Beat Officer will issue Neighbour­hood Watch stickers.

I hope this will give you some idea of what a Neighbourhood Watch scheme entails and if any of you are interested in starting a scheme in your particular area would you please contact the Community Affairs Department at Gainsborough Police Station Tel: No. 96-2244 for the information of the local beat officer.

Ted Willows-Chamberlin.

The Naturalist North Wales holds many delights for anyone interested in natural history, and I spent the last week in August this year in the western part of Gwynedd, known as the Lleyn Peninsula.

I have visited this area regularly for some years now, and although I am becoming quite familiar with the countryside there, I never tire of the magnificent scenery and rural tranquility to be found in this beautiful maritime region, where you are never far from the sea.

The tiny seaside village where I stay was, during the nineteenth century, under serious consideration as the only viable alternative to Holyhead, to become the location for the principal port of the region.

The increasing number of vessels plying the treacherous and often storm-lashed waters of the St. George's Channel, carrying passengers, mail and freight between the mainland and Ireland, had created an urgent need for a safe refuge and sheltered anchorage.

There was little to choose between the two locations, and the great rivalry between them for the prestigious and lucrative trade lasted for many years, during which time other far-reaching developments were taking place which were to eventually resolve the situation.

Traditional wooden sailing ships were gradually replaced by steam-powered vessels built of steel, capable of carrying larger cargoes at greater speed, and without reliance on the unpredictable wind for motive power.

New and better roads were being construc­ted in order that stage coaches could progressively reduce the travelling time from London and other major cities, and passengers were able to travel in improved safety and comfort.

Great advances in engineering technology and construction materials brought the railways to the region, and when the notorious Menai Straits between the mainland and Anglesey were finally bridged, this became the decisive factor in the emergence of Holyhead as the final choice, and it remains today as an important commercial centre and terminal for ferry services to Ireland.

Speaking from a purely selfish point of view, I am pleased at the final outcome which preserved the picturesque cluster of cottages nestling between the cliffs, surrounded by a natural and unspoilt coastline of majestic mountains sweeping down to the sea, broken here and there by remote beaches and coves which offer peace and solitude to the abundant wild life.

There is one beach of which I am particu­larly fond, and since access can only be gained by a rather precipitous path down the cliff, few people take the trouble to discover its beauty.

Consisting largely of silk-smooth pebbles of all sizes and colours, interspersed with areas of fine sand, this beach, although only a short distance from the village is, to me, the very essence of coastal wildness and solitude. The silence, broken only by the waves on the shore, is emphasized by the occasional mournful cry of a passing gull, and the only visible sign of human intrusion in the landscape is a long-abandoned coast guard tower standing starkly on the rugged rocks of the distant headland.

I usually visit the region in late summer, when the trees and bracken are showing the first tints of autumn colours, but on one memorable occasion, about five years ago, I arrived in early June and the clifftops were ablaze with the bright colours of countless wild flowers swaying gently in the warm spring breeze.

Further vernal surprises awaited me, and as I was walking along my favourite beach I suddenly became aware of four eggs lying in a shallow depression in the shingle. Light brown, with irregular dark speckling, they blended perfectly with the background, and I was relieved that they were not in my direct path, for I would surely have stepped on them.

There seemed to be no distraught adult bird in evidence, so I retreated to a respectable distance, where, from my concealed position in the long grass, I continued to observe the nest with the aid of my binoculars. After some minutes a ringed plover quietly left a group of birds who were searching for food in the seaweed exposed by the receding tide, and made its way slowly and cautiously back up the beach to the nest, where it settled down once more.

This common wading bird of the British coastline makes no effort to conceal its nest - a mere scrape in the ground -relying entirely on camouflage for protection of its eggs and chicks from predators, and although I returned regularly to watch, my week's holiday came to an end with the eggs still unhatched.

I often wonder if the chicks survived in the beautiful but harsh environment of this lonely beach, and ponder what might have become of the beach itself, had the course of history been different, all those years ago.

A Messy Problem Recently Nettleham Paris h Council discussed

dog s fouling the paths and play areas of the village.

The particular complaint this time concerned Backside but we know the problem extends throu ghout Nettle ham. The usual question whenever this subject arise s if "What is the Council going to do about it?". I have been asked to explain what we have done:-

On the 12th May , 1967 Nettle ham Parish Council created a byelaw making it an offence for a person to allow a dog to foul on a footpath. This byelaw was confirmed and came into force on the 16th September, 1967.

1 9 YEARS AGO�

In 1981 West Lindsey District Council created a byelaw whic h superceded Nettleham's byelaw making it an offence to "allow your dog to foul a footway or grass verge by depositing its excrement thereon."

This came into effect on the 22nd April, 1981.

Members of your Paris h Council do not know of any prosecution in Nettle ham under either of these bye laws.

I realize that most dog owners are re sponsible citizens who do not allow their Pets to mess up the footpaths (or remove it if there is an accident) but a short walk around the village clearly shows that some do. Can it be that in 19 years no one has seen it happen?. Until the Public play their part and either pursuade inconsiderate owners to stop this practice (Don't blame the do gs) or instigate a Prosecution under the byelaw, what more can the Parish Council do?.

Finally may I mention a letter I read in the Press recently from a doctor who welcomed the banning of Junior Asprin whic h would probably save 25 childrens lives eac h year in this country. However he hoped we would be as concerned about the 50 young children who go blind eac h year in this country after handling dog dirt.

The problem is not just about having to was h your s hoes �

Long Service Award for 'Heathie' Nurse Heath, probably our most well-known resident and affectionately known as "Heathie", was recently awarded by the R.S.P.C.A. a certificate and medal inscribed "FOR VALUABLE SERVICES RENDERED". This was in recognition of her untiring work, spanning approximately fifty years, raising funds on behalf of suffering animals in her capacity as Auxilliary Secretary for Nettleham.

The occasion was held on 30th July at the Bishop's House in Eastgate and the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, Simon Phipps, who is President of the Lincoln and Mid-Lines. Branch of the R.S.P.C.A., gratiously made the presentation. Despite being a wet and dismal evening it was a pleasant and most informal gathering - Mrs. Phipps had made a refreshing summer punch of orange juice and white wine, obviously anticipating appropriate weather, but it was none-the­less enjoyable and the shivers were soon dispelled by a cheerful log fire crackling in the hearth. Mrs. Sheila McPhail, the branch Secretary, had invited about a dozen members and Nurse Heath was delighted to renew her acquaintance with an old friend, Mr. Bergne-Coupland who is Vice-President of the branch. After the presentation Heathie expressed her appreciation by thanking the Bishop and his wife for their kind hospit­ality and for giving up their time in a busy schedule prior to their retirement in October. She also thanked Mrs. McPhail and the staff at headquarters for making it all possible. There was warm applause for a truly grand old lady who had worked for so many years to raise money to help unfortunate animals and birds in their suffering caused by the cruelty and neglect of uncaring people.

During the time Nurse Heath was active as District Nurse she was able to recruit collectors in the outlying villages of Burton, Riseholme, Grange-de-Lings, North and South Carlton, Fiskerton, Cherry Willingham and Reepham. After her retire­ment of course it was not so easy but nevertheless she tirelessly persuaded and cajoled friends in Nettleham to do their bit and she kept the pennies rolling in. When Heathie1s eyesight began to fail her long­time friend, Mrs. Clarke, came to the rescue and helped out with the accounting side which was a very great help. It was only this year that Heathie reluctantly had to admit she felt she could no longer get around with her collecting boxes and she thinks the mere fact that she has carried on doing this into her 93rd year is in no way remarkable! She

also relinquished, along with her boxes, the "lethal chamber" in which, until not so many years ago, people had their cats painlessly put to sleep with chloroform when they were incurably ill or too old - not a very pleasant task to perform and of course a method no longer used. Maybe the chamber would be a suitable candidate for the Lincolnshire Life Museum?

Heathie is a shining example to all of us who think we will be (or are!) "over the top" once we have reached retirement age! Her faithful little dog, Red, alas, is completely oblivious of the fact that her mistress is a very special lady.

SILLY DUCKS! Silly Ducks,

Why do you meander across our roads With all your family following in your wake?

You never look from side to side Even for your safety's sake

Is it necessary to make, such a noise When courting or demanding food?

And can you not control Your ever-increasing, squabbling

brood? Can I suggest you organise your­

selves Cbllect your young and form an

orderly line? Wait at the kerb until the traffic's

clear Then walk across for your sake and for

Too often driving down the road I've seen you waddle across my path

Risking your life and all who follow Incurring many a motorist's wrath

You cheekily walk across our lawn Noisily pecking and poking flowers,

mine!

I would feel happier if you were selective And not keep messing about on ours!

So in future be more considerate, Try your best to make amends

Consider those who live here too And watch out near our nasty bends!

You never know who may approach Busy strangers, driving trucks,

Would not know that you exist And maybe kill you - Silly Ducks!

Adding Life to Years Travel firms the world over are flound­ering whilst "Nettleham Travel" contin­ues to flourish. Len Charity recently

completed his fifth holiday for Senior Citizens with a visit to the island of Guernsey. It was on the 23rd June that he sallied forth yet again with a party of eighteen bound for La Blanche

Charriere the island hotel owned by his neice.

Len's trips tend to be eventful and

this one was no exception. The flight, following a coach trip from Nettleham

to East Midlands Airport, ran into heavy fog and having got into the air

had trouble "getting down". Three attempts to land and thirteen hours later the party finally completed their journey via the last ferry from Jersey to Guernsey. The airline had provided

a buffet lunch and dinner so all was

not lost. It was a weary but happy party that finally made their way to bed at La Blance Charriere. One small setback meant nothing to this intrepid

group of travellers and tomorrow was another day.

In the party were our old friends Robina and Sally from Brookfield Avenue (I'm sure duty free cigarettes still make you cough Robina) and 86 year old

Gladys Helsam whom it was my privilege to talk to in her Nettleham home. I would add that this is the first time

this writer has had his notes written for him BEFORE THE INTERVIEW.

When I arrived Gladys was busy at a table writing out her thoughts about the holiday, calmly announcing that she wasn't quite finished and that she re­quired a few more minutes. I was then presented with a beautifully documented

account of the proceedings. At 86

Gladys is sprightly and fitter than

many half her age. Such are her con­

versational skills that we could have continued all night had time allowed.

She enjoys coach-trips because they are usually door-to-door, loves flying and

complained only that the flight was too

short. "The best holiday I've ever had"

she said admitting to paddling in the sea - albeit with a walking stick and

lying full length on the beach with a rock for a pillow. Gladys re-iterated to me the drama in the fog and spoke longingly of the beautiful coves,

beaches and sunshine of the islands.

Her unforgettable visit to the straw­

berry farms where bowls of luscious fruit with lashings of Guernsey cream were consumed. A candle-making factory and pearl exhibition, where pearls were taken from the oyster and made into

necklaces, were still fresh in her

mind.

One very important event took place whilst they were there, the wedding of Len's great nephew, to which all the party were invited. The only wet day

they had did not dampen spirits, however, and the evening was spent dancing, drinking wine and eating cake. Len had also hired a car for the two

weeks which meant that the less able could still see the sights and visit beauty spots. The lovely town of St. Peter Port, the carnation houses and the Church of Shells provided fond memories of a most enjoyable time.

A remarkable lady is Gladys. In 1980

she camped in the Canadian Rockies and

her appreciation of beauty and fine

works emanates from her own consider­

able skills in toymaking, flower arranging and gardening. Prizes have

also been won for needlework, a display

of which I was privileged to see. The

walls of her home are hung with tapes­

tries and fine crafts of the highest

standard.

Eye problems curtail the amount of work Gladys can do but the quality remains

the same.

At a time when most people would be

happy to enjoy the quiet life this lady packs more into her days than ever.

"You never lose skills so why stop

using them" she says. As I said my goodbye's to a most charming lady I

tried to work out what exactly old age

is. Instead of adding years to life

perhaps we should be adding life to

years.

This philosophy certainly applies to

Len Charity who goes from strength to

strength. He took off again on the 30th August with a party of forty to Scotland. The esteem in which he is held knows no bounds and there is little doubt it is his commitment,

enthusiasm and considerable organising

skills that brings so much pleasure to groups of our Senior Citizens.

A Born Naturalist Seventeen year old James STAVELEY of Ridgeway Nettleham emerged as the top student of the year at Riseholme College's presentation night held on Friday 27th June. 1986.

James a former pupil of Nettleham Junior and William Farr Schools carried off the top two awards. He gained a distinction for his one year course in Amenity Horticulture and was voted top all round student. His prize a solid silver dish. He also took the award for the top Horticultural Student which gained him a Church Shield. A third award came his way when he won the Landsman's Prize for the best Weed Collection.

In a course taking an overall view of Amenity Horticulture, factors other than theory and practice were assessed. Standards of work, general attitudes, effort and presentation were all given degrees of importance. Practical and theoretical aspects included, annual plants the production of roses and bedding plants, the maintenance of plants, pruning, cultivation and the History of Gardening.

3ut where did all the interest stem from Tl a born naturalist I suppose" says James. ��l my life ever since I can remember I have

ceen interested in plants, trees and nature generally, now its paying off".

In 1987 he will embark on a three year course at the exclusive South Merrist Wood College in Surrey. There he will study for the National Diploma in Countryside Recreation. Places at this college are hard to obtain and this is yet another testament to the skills and creativity of this talented young man. On completion of his course James hopes to obtain a job on a Nature Reserve or National Park. Meanwhile he will work for one year at Riseholme spending his time planting, fencing, digging and generally helping to maintain what amounts to � lar�e estate.

During my visit James showed me some of the

award winning work. The project on weeds which won the Landsmans Prize was quite remarkable, it comprised 114 plants chosen and prepared with tender loving care, between pages.

Each plant documented and identified by its latin name. The whole project beautifully presented in a way that could not fail to impress.

I had to ask the obvious question "What is a weed". The answer was quick and simple" A plant that grows in the wrong place". Another very impressive piece of work was a project on the "Trees of Nettleham".

A remarkable graphic presentation looking at a variety of trees to be found in the village and their use on amenity features.

Documentary evidence, identifications and interpretations were all carefully recorded. I even discovered how to tell the age of a tree by its size.

The whole project beautifully illustrated with photographs and diagrams was breathtaking in its clarity accuracy and fine detail. One would need to be a born naturalist to have the patience, put in the time and make the effort required for such works.

Every other Sunday James is out with the Viking Conservation Volunteers - The Flying Squad of Lincolnshire and Humberside for Nature Conservation. Fencing, Orchid Courting and Tree Felling are just some of the activities undertaken.

I left James STAVELEY thinking that the next time I look around Nettleham the things that are taken for granted like plants, trees and - yes the weeds, may assume a more purposeful meaning.

· JAMES Staveley, of Rlclgeway, Nettleham won the top awai'd for the best all round student; also the horticultural course. A Church Shield for the top stndent on the one year general course in horti· cultnre.

In Your Garden

Vegetables October

Sow under clotches - Summer Cauliflowers and Lettuce.

Sow in open - Hardy Peas and Broad Beans, Protect these with wire or sticks from wind and bird damage.

Clear up plot of rubbish (old pea sticks etc.) and give a general tidy up. Start digging plus F.Y.M. Get Spring Cabbage plants planted before its too late. When soil is fairly dry lift and store - Potatoes, Beetroot, Carrots and Turnips. DD NOT compost old potato tops - burn them.

Earth up Celery and Leeks.

Harvest the last of French and Runner Beans.

November

Sow - last months list if not done

Plant - Rhubarb crowns

Lift and store root crops still in ground, but not Parsnips (they are frost hardy)

Keep digging, DON'T add lime and F.Y.M. together it gives off a gas thus the soil receives no benefit from either.

Check vegetables in store - out any that are wet or rotting or you will loose the lot! So make sure before storing vegetables that they are DRY.

December

Carry out all last months tasks if not already done.

This YEAR try and get your winter digging done BEFORE XMAS !! Why you may ask?

1. The soil has time to settle and helps drainage from the winter rains and melting snow ready for spring sowing.

2. Frost - destroys pests and weed seeds left over also it breaks down lumps into a fine tilth.

3. Plus it looks neat and tidy.

Trees & Shrubs September/October

September is a good month that we have to decide and plan our requirements, regarding new trees and shrubs.

The routine jobs or dead heading, weeding and watering are now slowing down.

Cuttings of most popular Conifers·can be taken, remove lateral growths with a heel of old wood. Insert in a mixture of equal parts of peat/sand or peat/perlite and winter in a frame. Also hardwood cuttings.

Give hedges their final trim for the winter months.

Towards the end of the month and October, start preparing the ground for new trees and shrubs, roses etc. Digging or double digging and adding in manure, compost, peat. So when our trees/shrubs arrive they can go straight into their final positions. When setting add a small amount of Bone Meal.

Stake all standard trees on planting, as they'll still be in growth and could get top heavy.

Spray ornamental peaches, almonds and nectarines against peach-leaf curl. This will also act as mid-Dctober protection against bacterial canker if a copper-based spray is used.

Mulch acid lovers with moist peat, heel in plants when they arrive if the weather is too bad for planting.

Prune shrub roses by thinning out the weaker shoots together with any that are dead or diseased, try to leave an even spread of branches.

Check all tree stakes and ties against autumn gales.

November

Continue planting deciduous trees and shrubs in fine weather.

Firm back any newly-planted subjects loosened by frost.

Tidy up all shrubberies and borders. Burning or composting leaves to ensure they do not harbour pests and disease.

Start pruning wall shrubs and climbers and tie in new growth to prevent wind and frost damage.

Trim back roses by half to avoid strong winds loosening them at the roots.

Roses. Prevention and control of infection:

When all the leaves have gone. November/ December, mix up a solution of six tablespoons full of Jeyes' fluid per gallon of water and give the bushes and soil a thorough drenching with the mixture or tar oil winter wash can be used diluted.

Congratulations Mrs V.Crane of 50 Sudbrooke Lane won cirst

prize in the East and West Lindsey Division of the recent Age Concern Essay Competition.

She obtained a consolation prize in the County Competition. The essay is printed below:

A Prizewinner I left school in the mid nineteen twenties during the depression and unemployment.

I think my parents hoped I would stay at home and help with their farm stock until some rich young man took me off their hands, but fate and I had other ideas.

I did a short dairy course on making cheese and butte� and all aspects of dairy work, at the County Agricultural College. So with the few cows and poultry at home, I tried to make money by selllng dairy produce. However, with milk at tuppence a pint and butter around one shilling a pound, it was not very profitable. Eggs too were cheap, selling at about one penny each or so much a score ( a score was twenty ) .•

The customers came to our door for these commodities, bringing their own milk cans or jugs. No bottled milk.

One day I saw a job advertised in our Northern paper for a Dairy Maid in Lincolnshire. I wrote - and got the job. My prospective employer arranged a day and time for me to arrive at Grantham station, where he would meet me, plus my bicycle, because the farm was two miles from the village pub, where arrangements had been made for me to lodge. So with Mother's parting words "if you don't like it dear, you can always come home", I set off on an unknown adventure.

The trair. journey was uneventful and I arrived at Grantham station. I removed my bicycle from the Guard's van and watched the train disappearing down the track towards London. Then I saw a large gaunt man coming towards me. "ARR - YOU MISS S?" he said, in a broad Scottish accent. I was scared! But here I was - TRAPPED!

Little did I know on that day so many years ago, the whole of my life was to take shape by the hand of f�te or destiny.

Soon my bicycle was roped on the back of an old ramshackle, bull-nosed Morris car and we set off on a journey which seemed a long way from Grantham to the village pub where I was to lodge.

The land-lady, a meek but pleasant little woman, showed me my bedroom with an iron bedstead, wash-stand with bowl and jug of water to wash with, also a chamber pot under the bed. A bath could only be had on a Sunday afternoon in a tin bath in front of the kitchen fire. There was no electricity only paraffin lamps. During the winter that followed, on many mornings I could not get a wash because the water was frozen in the jug in my room.

I had to be out of the pub, no break­fast, and on my bike to the farm by 5.30 a.m. ready for the 6 o'clock milk­ing which was done by machines, run off a generator. All the milk was run through a cooler and bottled with little cardboard discs on top - no silver tops! Some milk was separated and sold as cream, some into ten gallon cans for hotels in Grantham. At 8.15 a.m. I returned to the pub for my breakfast and then back by 9 o'clock to wash and sterilize the milking mach­ines, cooler and bottles. Most of the bottled milk went to schools.

My employer's idea of protective cloth­ing was one hessian apron, for wearing over my own cotton overall.

I bought my own Wellingtons and my shoes I treated with Dubbin to make them waterproof ( Dubbin was a greasy substance bought in a tin from the cobblers ) .

My lunch time was 12 noon to 1 o'clock back at the pub. In the afternoon all the equipment had to be assembled for the milking and bottling. I might be finished by 5 p.m. if there were no hold-ups. My day off was once a fort­night on a Wednesday because milking had to be done on Saturday and Sunday. My pay was one pound, ten shillings per week, out of which I paid seventeen shillings for lodgings.

It was whilst sitting in the bar par­lour with the landlady at night, that I heard of the shocking reputation my employers had as to their treatment of staff. This I took as 'bar talk' but how true it turned out to be later. They only employed a minimum of staff -a cowman and a lad to help, one man as carter with the horses and tractor, and

my self doing dairy work. Their eldes t son, a crip p le, did light duties and their teenage son shared the milk deliv ery with his father.

B y the end of four months I had had enough and C hristmas wa s coming, so I handed in a week's notice. The B o s s said "N o" and insisted o n two weeks. This meant I didn't get home until the N ew Year. S oon I receiv ed letters begging me to return, p lus an offer of two shillings a week extra, also I could do the milk deliv ery which mean t s tarting work at 7 o'clock instead of six. A f ter much deliberation I accep ted their offer. A lso I had a secret in teres t in a young man I had met in the p ub. S o I returned�

My emp loyers now had a new dairy maid -Sally - she and I decided to leav e the

p ub and got lodgings with a widow lady. It was homely, but the ablutions were not much better. Toilet down the gar­den and bath and wash in the out side wash house, water from a water butt in the garden, the drinking water came from a v illage tap along the road.

Whils t I'd been away, the B os s had been in a rage and kicked the tractor be­cause it wouldn't start and broken his foot.

I soon learned the milk round routine, which wa s mos tly school s and hotels. It was still a sev en day working week, becau se milk was deliv ered on a S unday,

with the same day off once a fortnight as before.

A t the end of February, their elde st son died, which gav e me a feeling of sadnes s and foreboding, as he was the calming influence in the whole set-up. My emp loyers seemed to take their los s v ery lightly and life and work contin­ued along its tumultuous course.

Then one summer's day - IT HAPPENED!� I was on my own, wa shing dairy equip ­ment, when I heard the B o s s yelling and shouting and throwing bucket s and cans about. H e stormed into the dairy bawl­ing at me like a mad bull. I wa s so scared I ran out and locked him in. I told the cowman what had hap p ened and then went for my lunch wondering what would hap p en on my return - I GOT THE SACK - but I didn' t le t it bother me, I'd worked on a time bomb long enough.

Within a few week s I had a job a s cook at a Rectory. Twenty shillings a week and all found. The work and conditions

were wonderful, after my recent exper­ience.

Finally, what of the heart throb I had met at the p u b and returned to Lincoln­shire to find? We became sweetheart s and married i n 1937. S adly the War p ar ted us and we were div orced. Thirty years later he came to Yorkshire to find me. We remarried and once again I returned to Lincolnshire to find hap p i­nes s.

Nettleharn Senior Residents Party fund The Committee would like to thank everyone who helped or attended the Garden Party on 23rd August, 1986, which raised £288.00 for Party Funds.

A Party of 140 Senior Residents left for a day out on Wednesday 27th August, destination was Thursford Museum of fairground organs in Norfolk, stopping at Kings Lynn for lunch. It was a very memorable day enjoyed by all who went. This was the second trip in 3 years and hope we will repeat again before too long.

Nettleham Under 13 Cricl<et 1986

Nettleham's under 13 cricketers have just finished their most successful season so far. A squad of 16 players captained by Daniel White and managed by David Ranshaw started the season back in May after 2 practice games. The first game was in the league cup against Fiskerton and resulted in a win by 117 runs Peter Liversedge top scor­ing with 20 for once out. The first league game followed and was a victory against Claytons by 62 runs Kevin Kennedy being the star taking 5 wickets for 10 ( a new club record ) . Next followed a nail biting win against Caistor by 13 runs. Rain prevented the game against Collingham but our next match was a hard fought victory by 33 runs at Fiskerton, Robert Perkins making 16 not out and Alastair Johnson taking 3 for 3.

The first defeat of the season was by an agonizing 1 run against Market Rasen in the 2nd round of the league cup. This was followed by a massive victory against Hartsholme in the NCA county cup. Robert Perkins making 28 not out. This win was enough to put the team into the County cup semi-finals.

The next league game was at Lindum and with Peter Liversedge scoring 25 not out victory was obtained by 71 runs, Robert Perkins took 4 catches in this game. The only league defeat of the season came in the next match against Southcliffe where despite 3 for 10 by Daniel White and 16 not out from Jeremy Allport Southcliffe won by 5 runs. They say in sport revenge is sweet, Wettleham's sweetest moment came with the victory over Market Rasen by 9 runs at Nettleham with Robert Perkins taking 3 for 3.

The County Cup Semi-finals and Final were played on the same day in early July and it proved to be an historic day for Nettleham first by beating Bourns in an excellent game by 16 runs, the players qualified to play Caistor in the Final. In the Final Caistor were well beaten by 42 runs Stephen Parker taking 4 for 5 and Robert Perkins scori�g 20 not out. Earlier in the Semi-final Robert's younger brother Andrew with 12 not out had helped the recovery after a bad start. To round off a good day for the Perkins boys Robert was awarded the player of the d?Y prize.

This win allowed Nettleham into the Nat-West Ken Barrington Cup, but before that game there was a crucial last league match against Hykeham where vic­tory was achieved by the smallest mar­gin 1 run Robert Perkins with 3 for 8 and Kevin Kennedy with 12 not out were the heroes.

The next visitors came from North Lon­don, West Herts Cricket Club, in the NCA Nat-West Ken Barrington Cup but they proved too strong for the gallant Nettleham team and won by 124 runs despite 14 from Peter Liversedge. The final game of the season was a friendly against Fiskerton and allowed the mana­ger to look at next years team in action since all this years star play­ers stood down, indeed Robert Perkins donned the white coat to umpire. The game played in a friendly spirit was won by 45 runs Simon Shaw taking 3 for 6.

Including games against Harby and Bucy­rus which were awarded owing to failure to turn out a side, the team played 17 games winning 13 losing only 3, 1 was rained off.

For Robert Perkins, D aniel White, Peter Liversedge, Alastair Johnson and Jeremy Allport the season was not to end there since they were all honoured with sel­ection into the Lincolnshire under 13 squad. In addition to those already mentioned the squad was made up with Andrew Parker, Kieron Kennedy, Darren Hill, Tom Locker, Tim Stanbridge, Tom Jackson and Fraser Oingley. 9 of this years squad are now too old and whilst some new members are already known for next year there is still room for some new faces in the team. Anyone inter­ested should contact Nettleham Cricket Club under 13 team manager David Ran­shaw telephone 7 51052.

Champions! The Nettleham Cricket Club are Champions of the Lincolnshire League Division Ill. for 1986

They have competed in this League since April last and will be promoted to Division II in 1987.
